Nickels always have good value to content ratio. Same with pre 1982 copper Lincoln cents. You get $100 worth of nickels in a box, weighs ~22 pounds, never worth less than $100 (unless dollar dies, in which case the base metal is probably way up in value) and they’re next to impossible to steal because of weight.

Right now $100 box is around $80-85 in melt value. Few years back it was ~$110-120...

And if you find a 1983 copper penny then it’s worth 30 grand.

Thanks! I'm learning so much, and I'll start saving those nickels.
